Unexpected Journey To Ferry Meadows Caravan And Motorhome Club Site | Great North Road Tour Pt1

We travel in our Motorhome from home to Peterborough's Ferry Meadows Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, but take an unexpected detour round Lincoln as the A1(M) was closed at Worksop. A long journey that took us to places we'd never seen before.

To save everyone asking, why we didn't go down the A614, there was a big queue to get onto the A614 roundabout, so we thought Redford, back on the A1 at Markham Moor, but that was closed too. We then weren't sure how far down the A1 was closed, so A57, we missed the turning for the A1133 and ended up in Lincoln, so we thought A15 goes to Peterborough. Ah well you live and learn.

[@chazsach6594]

Your exhausted! i'm exhausted watching it. I'm sure i used to once enjoy driving once.

[@paulonthemove5543]

Great journey loved the new sound gear .

[@dawngreen4074]

Oh my... a detour and a half! Well done you two (and the pooches). Roll on the more 'fun exploits'!

[@RailAdventUK]

Excellent video! Looks like it took you a long time

[@steadycamuk1]

Well done for going though all that hassle and still summoning up enough energy to put a video of it all together. So pat on the back to both of you but especially you Bob for all that driving.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Ed Hall Thank you!

[@petewaite4649]

Thanks for sharing, Tammy says Hi to Poppy and Tara, she loves it when they start barking!.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Pete Waite Thanks, Tara just loves barking!

[@PoshcatsCamping]

We travelled the A15 from Peterborough to Lincoln when the A1 northbound was closed earlier this year and it surprised us what a pretty road parts of the A15 is. The perils of driving in the UK in 2018 eh ? At least you were safe and warm.... very warm 😄👍🏻

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Poshcats Camping Yes, thanks. It made for a more interesting video too.

[@teresaemmerson9599]

Wow that was a journey and a half 😮. Interesting detour though. I hope you slept well that night.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Slept like a log - a hot log...

[@teresaemmerson9599]

😴😂😂

[@deirdremccann3212]

We are at Ferry Meadows. I thought it was your Motorhome that passed us yesterday. How exciting, I watch your videos and I spotted you. 😂☀️💙

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Deirdre McCann We are here all day, so come over and say Hi. We're on 26.

[@deirdremccann3212]

Bob Earnshaw Thank you for your reply Bob. We moved on to Fakenham. Enjoy the rest of your trip. 💙

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Deirdre McCann Thanks, you too.

[@anthonyrawson6818]

Hi bob and Jenny ignore all the negative comments we bought our motor home in August we have learnt so much from you thanks and we just love seeing poppy too merry Christmas

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thank you

[@alisonandrews2013]

You could of called in , I would of made you a drink 😀👍🏻

[@debsbird8693]

That coffee was well earned! Looking forward to following your latest travels and adventure with Pops and Tara 😊

[@pqsaservices]

Ohh Bob, what a detour!! Being from Nottingham, I recognised where you were detoured off the A1. The A614 past Clumber Park would have been a much better alternative route. Then the A6097 to Bingham and then the A52 to Grantham would have got you back on the Great North Road much more quickly I think. We are off this coming Sunday, to Western France and Northern Spain. Taking Le Shuttle 1st thing Monday morning, after staying a night at the Black Horse Farm CAMC site. I hope our Sunday run won't be so detoured and traumatic as yours was! Kind Regards, Jonathan & Rosie.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Jonathan Portwood Thanks, we didn't go down the A614 because everyone was heading that way. Anyway, enjoy your European Adventure!

[@lonanman]

Sorry about your bad “Worksop” experience Bob and Jenny, my hometown. It was nice seeing Retford again though lol

[@christinehodge3608]

A road is not always straightforward, onward and upwards, you handledit well,

[@bridgetsalter265]

Late in catching you both but so worth the wait .....a lovely vlog 👍🙋

[@charleswotton9417]

Aaahh I was just goin to say is poppy with u ..but iv just heard her bark 😊

[@HermanHitstheRoad]

Look at you and your duel fluffy mics. Are they radio or simply sharing the same input?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Herman the Hymer They're wired

[@denisclarke2137]

That was a long way hope you got a good rest

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes it was a long trip.

[@amandajaynemaryhardy3465]

I've got a carvan just down the road where you are

[@tomvlogs2849]

Nice video Bob,jenny and also poppie and tara

[@colinhumphries2892]

Well done Bob, you travelled on my old commuter route, Bradford to Doncaster, many years ago ! That road through Retford is the way we go to Morrisons from Clumber Park for our food shopping, not usually as busy as hat ? Thing I would have stopped off to see if there was any vacancies at Clumber Park and cancelled Ferry Meadows. A1 closed would have been a good reason to cancel. Bet you all would have been exhausted, me too watching your diversions, you resisted not to swear very well controlled, dam it ?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Thanks, Clumber Park was full this weekend, but we wamted to get here for tonight anyway.

[@jkee7017]

Looking at some of your old trips. If you ever come back to Lincolnshire. Lincoln is well worth a look also Stamford is a wonderful pretty much unspoiled old town.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes Stamford was nice, we were planning to go to Lincolnshire this year, maybe next...

[@tomvlogs2849]

There is a campsite in lincolnshire called woodlands

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes we did think about stopping somewhere, but we needed to get here today.

[@Shep-nf3wk]

Being an ex truck driver I always make sure I take a good break every 4 and a half hours. I normally stop for an hour just to regain my senses.I know people will say that’s stupid but if it’s the law for HGV drivers it’s got to be the right way to go I think.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Shep3650 Yes you're right. I did stop for a break after 2 hours, just not used to drivng that long these days.

[@CaravanningwiththeCoxs]

Bob, Jenny and the Dogs. I have looked at applying for press tickets for NEC show in October but I don’t have Facebook, Twitter or a blog how do you it? Also could you do a video on your Safari room? You referenced it but we have never seen it? Cheers Oliver

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Caravanning with the Coxs Thanks for the questions. I don't get a press pass, because we help Aileen with her pet supplies, we get trade passes. I tried to get press passes for the National Motorhome Show, but they said they had enough coverage. Best thing to do is just ask the NEC, you never know. The reason we haven't videoed the Safari Room is we haven't used since we started vlogging. Not so keen on it nowadays. We might try it over the August Bank Holidays.

[@johnvickers5750]

Classic! forgive the pun & yes I recognised all those cars & some. I have to say Bob the best asset you have is Jenny! You don't need a new Satnav. How do I know well I have a Jo (Johanna) luv her to bits & be lost without her! 😊 Another great vid many thanks.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

John Vickers Yes often would I be lost without Jenny. Her dad was a Navigator with the RAF, so it runs in her genes.

[@johnvickers5750]

Blessed!

[@johnvickers5750]

By the we saw a motorhome with a purple "UP" in tow today around 11:15am heading South on the M6 Toll on our return from Norfolk & thought of you guy's 😁.,

[@tomvlogs2849]

You should do like an earnshawfest

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes we been thinking about something like that.

[@patcostello25]

Hi bob , hi Jenny Should have gone down a614 at climber to newark and got back on a1 there, lol, think you have gone about 50 miles out of your journey.

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Pat Costello Thanks, yes that probably would have been easier, but there was a big queue to get onto the A614 roundabout, so we thought Redford, back on the A1 at Markham Moor, and that was closed too. We then weren't sure how far down the A1 was closed, so A57, we missed the turning for the A1133 and ended up in Lincoln, so we thought A15 goes to Peterborough. Ah well you live and learn.

[@patcostello25]

Never mind you now have started your tours of Lincolnshire. Have a great time

[@borisbolero1448]

Watched last night and found that we had both been on the A1 around Peterborough at the same time - in our Bolero 714SB with us and 2 westies on board! We were on our way back from a CMC CL at Keal Lodge (Market Deeping) which must be the best CL on the network. Dare I say, far better than Ferry Meadows. You really should give it a try. www.keallodge.co.uk/ The video does not fully do it justice.

[@TomRyall3]

Like your vids are you both retired to have time off?

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

Yes thanks we're both retired and loving it.

[@jackirichards8789]

You poor things, what a horrible journey!

[@BobEarnshawMoHo]

It wasn't the best, but we got there in the end.
